Abstract

The upper structural member (7) on which the piano (100) is placed is suspended by the lower structural member (8) in contact with the floor surface via the cantilever spring member (9) and the first wire (10). Since the upper structural member (7) and the lower structural member (8) are connected in the horizontal direction by the second wire (11), the original sound produced by the piano is the upper end of the first wire (10). It functions to hold by free vibration of the pendulum movement with the fulcrum as the fulcrum, and its reverberation becomes richer and the transmission to the floor surface is suppressed, and also due to the player's operation of the keyboard (3) and pedal (6) The vibration to be suppressed is suppressed by the elasticity of the cantilever spring member (9) and the tension acting on either of the second wires (11), and an insulator is realized in which the player does not feel uncomfortable with the operation.

Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, an insulator inserted between a piano and a floor surface, and can improve the sound of the piano and suppress vibrations on the floor surface.

  The inventor of the present application first developed an insulator to be used by inserting it mainly between a speaker and a floor surface (see Patent Document 1). In this method, the speaker is substantially suspended by a wire, and the free vibration of the pendulum motion by the wire suspension structure is utilized. As a result, a state in which the speaker is substantially suspended in the air is realized acoustically, and the original sound of the speaker can be reproduced without being affected by the floor surface.

  “WELLFLOAT” is a trademark filed and registered by the inventor at the same time as the previous patent application. Products sold with this trademark are also shown in, for example, Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2, etc. As such, it has a very high reputation in specialized fields.

By the way, the piano, which is said to be the king of musical instruments, is used in concert halls around the world and provides its wonderful sound to many audiences. In recent years, it has been spreading to households.
And since the invented 17th century, the instrument called the piano has not changed so far in that it is played with the piano body, which is a heavy object, placed directly on the floor.

As a result, there is almost no problem in use in concert halls where acoustic measures such as soundproofing and sound insulation have been sufficiently implemented, but for example, in home use, there are problems with insufficient acoustic measures due to various restrictions. There are many cases. In particular, in condominiums and the like, there are not enough sound insulation measures between adjacent and upper and lower floors, and complaints regarding noise frequently occur.
Even a grand piano, which can be installed in a general household, is often dissatisfied with performers and the like due to the limitations of the building and rich sound.

  Considering the current situation, we are tempted to use the insulators introduced earlier, that is, the insulators that are hung with wires. However, the following serious problems are considered and they remain as they are. Application is impossible.

  That is, in the case of a piano, the player plays the keyboard and simultaneously steps on the pedal, that is, the piano sound is generated through the performance operation. In this state, the piano swings due to this operation, and the performer feels a great sense of discomfort in these operations. Otherwise, the delicate so-called piano touch is impaired.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. An insulator that suppresses vibrations on the floor surface and hardly increases a sense of incongruity to the performer, and further increases the richness of the sound. It is to provide.

The insulator according to the present invention is an insulator that is interposed between the vibration generating object and the first plane and suppresses vibration transmission between the vibration generating object and the first plane,
A lower structural member abutting against the first plane, a cantilever spring member made of a bent plate and having one end attached to the lower structural member, a first wire having its upper end attached to the other end of the cantilever spring member, and its upper surface An upper structural member mounted on the lower end of the first wire and suspended from the lower structural member via the cantilever spring member and the first wire, and the upper structural member and the lower structural member Are connected in a horizontal direction, and three or more second wires arranged radially at equal intervals in the circumferential direction with the load point set at the center position of each of the upper structural member and the lower structural member as the axial center. It is to be prepared.

As described above, the insulator according to the present invention holds the vibration energy component generated from the vibration generating object with a relatively high frequency by free vibration of the pendulum motion with the upper end of the first wire as a fulcrum. Therefore, the reverberation by the vibration energy component becomes rich and the transmission to the first plane is suppressed.
In addition, each of the vibration energy components generated from the vibration generating object and having a relatively low frequency functions to suppress the vertical direction component by the elasticity of the cantilever spring member, and the horizontal direction component Since it functions to suppress by the tension acting on one of the two wires, the vibration of the vibration generating object itself due to the vibration energy component having a relatively low frequency is suppressed.

FIG. 3 is a rear view of the upper structural member 7 shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 3 is a top view of the lower structural member 8 shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a suspended structure portion related to one first wire 10. It is a figure for demonstrating the attachment structure of the 2nd wire. It is a figure which shows the state which incorporated the insulator 1 by Embodiment 2 of this invention in the piano itself.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which an insulator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is applied to a piano. Here, the outline of the piano 1 is shown by a broken line so that the lower end of a pedestal 2 can be clearly understood.
FIG. 1 is applied to a so-called grand piano 100, and usually three insulators 1 are used for each of three pedestals 2.

  In the following, the case of applying to this grand type piano will be described. The present invention can be similarly applied to various musical instruments generated even if the number of pedestals is different, and the same effect can be obtained. Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to a musical instrument such as a cello that is directly installed on the floor surface, and that resonates as a musical instrument by a player's bow operation and at the same time an external force is applied to the main body.

  In the first embodiment, the first plane in claim 1 of the present application is regarded as a floor surface, and an insulator 1 is installed between the floor surface and a pedestal 2 of a piano. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to perform any work on the current piano itself.

Here, the mechanism of the piano will be briefly described with reference to FIG. When a player sitting on a chair placed in front of the figure hits the keyboard 3 with his finger, the force is transmitted to the hammer through a mechanism called lever action. Occur.
Further, the vibration of the string is transmitted to the soundboard through a component called a piece, and this soundboard amplifies the vibration and is sensed by the surrounding listeners as a so-called piano sound.

The sound / vibration generated by the sound board and sensed by the listener has a frequency equal to or higher than the lower limit of the human audible frequency, and in the present application, this is referred to as a first vibration energy component.
This first vibration energy component reaches the listener directly or through the reverberation board 4, and part of it reaches the floor surface through the piano frame 5 and the pillar 2.
Therefore, when a piano having a weight of several hundred kg is installed directly on the floor as in the prior art, a part of the first vibration energy component is absorbed by the floor.

On the other hand, the pedal 6 is usually provided with three pedals on the left, right, and center, and is operated by the player stepping on with his / her foot to loosen, extend and stop the sound of the sound, aiming at the effect intended by the player.
The above-described operation of the keyboard 3 and the pedal 6 by the performer is performed for its original purpose, but at the same time, a vibration component that causes the piano to swing in a certain direction is caused.

  The frequency of the vibration component is very low and cannot be heard by the human ear, that is, a frequency below the lower limit of the human audible frequency. In the present application, this frequency will be referred to as the second vibration energy component. . However, when a heavy piano is installed directly on the floor as in the conventional case, the player does not shake at all when the player operates the keyboard 3 or the pedal 6, and the player does not move at all. There is no sense of incongruity.

  Here, as described above, the insulator that we have already developed is intended to eliminate the leakage of the first vibration energy component generated on the soundboard of the piano to the floor and reach all the energy components to the listener. 1 is applied as it is as shown in FIG. 1, the loss of the generated first vibration energy component is surely prevented and the sound of the piano is increased accordingly, but the second vibration energy component described above, that is, the performance. As a result of the operation of the keyboard 3 and the pedal 6 performed by the performer, the piano itself swings, and as described above in the section of the subject of the present invention, the performer feels a great sense of incongruity in the performance operation.

  The present invention is based on the wire-suspended insulator that we previously obtained a patent for, and holds the first vibration energy component constituting the original sound of the piano as much as possible without losing it as much as possible. In order to suppress as much as possible the second vibration energy component resulting from the above operation, various trial production results could be obtained.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the insulator 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. 2A and 2B show the entirety of the insulator 1. FIG. 2A is a top view, FIG. 2B is a side view, and FIG. 2C is a rear view.
The insulator 1 is broadly divided into an upper structural member 7 and a lower structural member 8, and a cantilever spring member 9, a first wire 10, and a second wire, which are not illustrated by broken lines in FIG. 11.
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the upper structural member 7, and FIG. 4 is a top view of the lower structural member 8.

The upper structural member 7 is a member on which the piano 100 is placed. For example, the upper structural member 7 includes an upper member 12 obtained by processing a laminated plate having a thickness of about 30 mm into a shape shown in the figure, and a lower member 13 shown in FIG. . The lower structural member 8 is installed on the floor and suspends the upper structural member 7 via the cantilever spring member 9 and the first wire 10 as will be described in detail later. Similarly, for example, it includes a bottom plate portion 14 formed by processing a laminated plate having a thickness of about 15 mm into the shape shown in FIG. 2, a column 15 shown in FIG. 2B, a spring 15 shown in FIG. 4 and a spring base 16 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the lower member 13 is provided with an insertion hole 20 through which the support column 15 is inserted.

A first recess 17 that opens upward and accommodates the lower end of the pedestal 2 of the piano is formed at the central position that is the load point G of the upper member 12. Here, in consideration of workability, a hole that penetrates the laminated plate is formed, and as shown in FIG. 3, the bottom plate 18 that closes the hole from the back surface is screwed. It is good also as a bottomed structure which keeps an opening process in the thickness.
Further, a second recess that opens downward so as to accommodate a cantilever spring member 9 and a first wire 10 to be described later, at equidistant positions on the circumference centering on the load point G in the center of the upper member 12. Three 19 are formed.

FIG. 4 shows a part of the cantilever spring member 9 fixed to the spring pedestal 16 and the first wire 10 attached to the cantilever spring member 9. The mechanism of these suspension structures is shown enlarged. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 shows a suspension structure portion related to one first wire 10, and accordingly, one insulator 1 is provided with three suspension structures. FIG. 4A is a top view thereof, and FIG. 4B is a side view thereof.

In FIG. 5, the support column 15 is fitted into the bottom plate portion 14 of the lower structural member 8, and is fixed by a male screw (not shown) inserted from the back surface of the bottom plate portion 14 into a female screw (not shown) formed inside the support column 15. (Not shown). The support column 15 passes through an insertion hole 20 formed in the lower member 13, and a spring base 16 is screwed to the upper end thereof.
In this example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the spring pedestal 16 is provided with a U-shaped portion 22 constituting a part of the reinforcing wall 21 and the cantilever spring member 9 by bending itself. It is integrally formed.

The horizontal portion of the L-shaped portion 23 is screwed to the upper end of the support column 15 so that the horizontal portion overlaps the spring base 16, and the upper end of the vertical portion is connected to the U-shaped portion 22. It is in contact. Then, the upper end and the lower end of the first wire 10 are attached to the vicinity of the tip of the U-shaped portion 22 and to the lower member 13, respectively.
The U-shaped part 22 and the L-shaped part 23 constitute a cantilever spring member 9, and the load of the piano 100 applied via the lower member 13 of the upper structural member 7 and the first wire 10 is a cantilever spring of span d. It is what is supported by.
Then, the second vibration energy component described above due to the elasticity of the cantilever spring member 9, that is, the vertical vibration energy having a frequency lower than the lower limit value of the human audible frequency accompanying the operation of the keyboard 3 and the pedal 6 by the performer. The direction component is suppressed.

Next, the attachment structure of the 2nd wire 11 is demonstrated with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a view of the insulator 1 as viewed from above, and makes the mounting structure of the second wire 11 easier to see by appropriately seeing through the members described above.
The second wire 11 connects the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 in the horizontal direction in order to suppress the horizontal component of the second vibration energy component described above.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, one end 11 a of the second wire 11 is attached to a support column 15 fixed to the lower structural member 8, and the other end 11 b of the second wire 11 is connected to the upper structural member. 7 is fixed to a portion of the first recess 17 formed in the upper member 12.

In fact, the most difficult part in the process of completing the invention of the present application and repeated many trial productions are means for suppressing the horizontal component of the second vibration energy component.
That is, a part that is connected using a rubber material, a part that is connected using a thin aluminum plate, a part that is connected via a gap, etc. The incongruity caused by the sound and the player's operation was verified. However, no one satisfying both requirements was obtained.

  The connection structure using the second wire 11 shown in FIG. 6 is obtained after trial and error. As will be described later, the connection structure is a so-called suspension structure developed by the inventor of the present application. The sound of the piano becomes richer and the transmission to the floor surface is suppressed, so that the player who performs the operation does not feel uncomfortable as before.

Specifically, the second wire 11 is composed of a stranded wire obtained by combining a plurality of fine wires, and crimp terminals are attached to both ends of the second wire 11 and fixed to the respective portions. In FIG. 6, one end 11 a is fixed to the portion of the column 15 of the lower structural member 8, and the other end 11 b is the portion of the first recess 17 of the upper structural member 7, specifically, the first of the upper member 12. A terminal is set up and fixed to the peripheral edge of the recess 17.
The attachment position of the second wire 11 is not necessarily limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 6, but it has been found that the following conditions must be satisfied from various experimental results.

  That is, the second wire 11 connects the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 in the horizontal direction, and is a load point set at the center position of each of the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8. Three or more are arranged radially at equal intervals in the circumferential direction centered on G.

The horizontal component of the above-described second vibration energy component accompanying the operation of the keyboard 3 and the pedal 6 by the performer is indicated to each insulator in an arbitrary direction within the horizontal range, for example, F in FIG. It has been found that, when acting in the direction, the force F is suppressed by the tension acting on any one or a plurality of second wires 11 by having at least the above conditions.
As described above, in consideration of the case where a force acts in an arbitrary direction, the second wire 11 is constituted by a stranded wire as described above. Thereby, especially the terminal part bends flexibly according to the direction of force, and each second wire 11 surely shares the tension.

  In FIG. 6, the above-described conditions are satisfied, but the second wire 11 is attached with an inclination of about 30 degrees from a straight line passing through the load point G and indicated by a broken line. This is adopted in consideration of the result of trial listening that the sound of the piano is further improved as compared with the case where the second wire 11 is arranged on the straight line in the figure.

  The first wire 10 shown in FIG. 5 is the same as that introduced in Patent Document 1 and has been described in detail in the same document, so only an outline thereof is shown here. As with the second wire 11, the first wire 10 is composed of a stranded wire obtained by combining a plurality of fine wires, and the natural vibration frequency in the free vibration of the pendulum motion is set to, for example, about 3.57 Hz. The length of the wire is set to 20 mm.

  By configuring the first wire 10 used in a vertical posture with a stranded wire, there is an effect that the deformation in the horizontal direction at both ends thereof is made more reliable, and the pendulum movement is more reliably and smoothly performed.

By the way, when considering the transmission mechanism of the first vibration energy component generated from the soundboard of the piano to the pedestal 2 and further to the floor surface, the frequency is very high and includes many frequency components and the amplitude is extremely small. Therefore, it must be said that it is extremely difficult to grasp the amount of transmission and the transmission mechanism itself with a measuring instrument.
In addition, it is difficult to apply the concept of horizontal vibration transmission and vertical vibration transmission, which can be assumed at low frequencies. It came to the conclusion that it is appropriate to grasp the first vibration energy component in the form of energy.

  Specifically, if the cantilever spring member 9 is not adopted or is used as a double-supported spring, the intended acoustic effect cannot be obtained. The result was improved. From this, the first vibration energy component that has actually been transmitted in a very complicated form through the pedestal 2 is the pendulum efficiently by the action of the first wire 10 and the cantilever spring member 9. It is presumed that it has been transformed into a form that can be absorbed by movement, that is, a form that can retain energy without fading.

Next, the verification result of the insulator 1 whose configuration has been described above will be described.
First, as described above, in the first verification, the pendulum with the suspension structure developed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is also used in the state where the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 are connected and restrained by the second wire 11. This is verification of whether or not the free vibration of motion can be realized and maintained without losing the first vibration energy component.
The inventor of the present application, as introduced in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, is based on the fact that these acoustic characteristics cannot be obtained by mechanical methods such as waveform analysis and frequency analysis. We have developed a verification method that uses the auditory sense of the sound and provides high objectivity.

By the way, the insulator 1 of the present application is applied to a piano, and of course, finally applied to a piano to evaluate the sound, but in order to apply the objective verification method developed earlier. Because a sound source that can be reproduced accurately and repeatedly is necessary, the completed insulator 1 is inserted between the speaker and the floor, and the reproduced sound from the CD is used as the sound source. did.
As the speaker, a speaker whose weight is close to that of one piano leg is used, and as a result, the first verification is made in a state where the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 are connected and restrained by the second wire 11. It is different from the developed verification conditions.

Since the details of the verification method are described in detail in the same document, all reprints here are omitted, but the feature points are listed as follows.
(1) A human ear is used as a sensor for detecting the reproduced sound, and high detection sensitivity that cannot be obtained by methods such as waveform analysis and frequency analysis is ensured.
(2) When two different pitches (sound pitch = sound frequency) are generated at the same time, beats (beats) are generated or generated in the human ear due to the relationship between the two heights (frequency). The phenomenon of not doing is observed. In the developed method, the objectivity of verification is improved by focusing on the above-mentioned phenomenon of presence or absence of beats, rather than the subjective grasp of generally speaking, for example, soft, hard, bright, dark, etc. Yes.
(3) The reliability of the comparison result is ensured by using a high-performance headphone that is not affected by the insulator 1 as a standard device for comparison with an experiment using a speaker.

  And again this time, using a CD recorded with a piano tuned with different tuning methods, the reproduced sound from the speaker and the reproduced sound from the headphones without using the speaker were heard with human ears, and the beat The presence or absence was determined.

  As a result, when the second wire 11 was used in the configuration described with reference to FIG. 6 and the like, exactly the same data as obtained in Patent Document 1 was obtained. That is, although the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 are connected and restrained by the second wire 11, the speaker is acoustically in a state of floating in the air, in other words, the first vibration energy component. However, it was proved that the suspension was held by free vibration of the pendulum motion of the suspension structure using the first wire 10 and the cantilever spring member 9. None of the various methods, which were introduced in the previous stage, were variously experimentally developed at the stage of completion of the present invention, and satisfactory results were not obtained.

  The second wire 11 connecting the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 is restrained in the horizontal direction, which creates a restrained state by the tension of the wire, and this point is different from other measures and a desired result is obtained. It is thought that. Then, as described with reference to FIG. 6, in the insulator 1, the horizontal force F of the second vibration energy component can be applied in an arbitrary direction. Therefore, the force F is always suppressed by the tension acting on the wire. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange three or more second wires 11 radially at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

Next, the second verification is verification of the uncomfortable feeling given to the player by the second vibration energy component resulting from the operation of the keyboard 3 and the pedal 6 by the player.
This second vibration energy component has an extremely low frequency, and the movement of the piano due to this can be felt by directly touching the piano frame 5 or the pillar 2 with a hand. Further, it is not impossible to distinguish the vertical direction component from the horizontal direction component.

  In the present invention, the vertical component of the second vibration energy component is suppressed by the elasticity (rigidity) of the cantilever spring member 9. As described above with reference to FIG. 5, the cantilever spring member 9 is configured by combining the U-shaped portion 22 and the L-shaped portion 23, so that sufficient rigidity can be given according to the weight of the piano and can be ignored. The displacement is kept to a certain extent.

  Regarding the horizontal component of the second vibration energy component, as described in detail above with reference to FIG. 6, the player hardly feels a sense of incongruity due to the tension applied to three or more (three in FIG. 6) second wires 11. The displacement is suppressed to the level.

The verification was conducted by inspecting several human resources who had been active as piano teachers and tuners for many years.
The sense of incongruity associated with the piano operation can be sensed quite clearly. Of the various types of trials that were introduced in the previous stage and were variously prototyped at the stage of completing the present invention, for example, the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 In the method of connecting with a thin aluminum plate, this discomfort disappeared, but the sound of the sound was not good. As a result of carrying out these various prototype systems, it was confirmed by all the inspectors that the product of the present invention was sufficiently satisfactory both in terms of acoustics and discomfort.

  As described above, the insulator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes the upper structural member 7 on which the lower end of the piano pedestal 2 is placed, the cantilever spring member 9 and the first cantilever spring member 9 installed on the floor surface. Since the lower structural member 8 that suspends the upper structural member 7 via the wire 10 is provided and the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 are connected in the horizontal direction by the second wire 11, the piano is The first vibration energy component corresponding to the natural sound that is emitted functions to be held by the free vibration of the pendulum motion with the upper end of the first wire 10 as a fulcrum, so compared with the conventional case where it is directly installed on the floor surface. Therefore, the sound due to the vibration energy component becomes richer and transmission to the floor surface is also suppressed.

  In addition, the vertical component of the second vibration energy component resulting from the player's operation of the keyboard 3 and the pedal 6 is suppressed by the elasticity of the cantilever spring member 9, and the horizontal component of the second vibration energy component is the second wire. 11 is suppressed by the tension acting on any of the above, and the performer does not feel uncomfortable with the operation.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an insulator 1 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment as the insulator 1, except that the insulator 1 is incorporated in the pedestal 2 itself of the piano. In other words, in the second embodiment, the first plane of claim 1 of the present application is regarded as the upper surface of the upper mounting portion 24 described later of the pedestal 2, and the lower structural member 8 is fixed to the upper mounting portion 24. The insulator 1 and the pedestal 2 are integrated. And the piano 100 shall be comprised with the pedestal 2 and the piano main body 101 which points to the other part.
Hereinafter, a description will be given focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

When the piano is transported to an installation place such as a concert venue or a home, the pedestal 2 and the piano body 101 are separated from each other so as to reduce the packaging size and prevent excessive force from acting on the pedestal 2. transport. And after unpacking at an installation place, the pedestal 2 is attached to the piano main body 101, and the movement in an installation place is mainly performed by rolling the wheel provided in the lower end of the pedestal 2.
Therefore, if the insulator 1 of the present invention is incorporated in the pedestal 2 in a piano maker, the pedestal 2 separated during transportation can be attached to the piano body 101 at the installation location in the same manner as a usual work procedure. In this state, the insulator 1 is incorporated, and there is an advantage that the movement in the installation place can be processed in exactly the same manner as before.

In FIG. 7, the upper attachment portion 24 is originally a member for attaching the pedestal 2 to the piano body 101 and has a structure that is screwed to an attachment surface formed in the frame 5.
In the second embodiment, the lower structural member 8 of the insulator 1 is attached to the upper surface of the upper attachment portion 24 by screwing or the like. Then, the upper structural member 7 of the insulator 1 is screwed to the above-described mounting surface formed in the frame 5.

  In the first embodiment, three sets of the first wire 10 and the cantilever spring member 9 are provided for one insulator, three second wires 11 are provided, and the upper structural member 7 and the lower structural member 8 are both provided. The insulator 1 has a substantially regular triangle in plan view. In this case, that is, when the structure in which the insulator 1 is integrated into the piano pedestal 2 is adopted, and it is convenient to make the insulator 1 square due to the structural shape of the piano, the first wire By providing four sets of 10 and cantilever spring members 9 and four second wires 11, a quadrilateral finish may be achieved.

  As described above, the insulator 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has the same configuration as that described in the first embodiment as the insulator itself, and therefore the first corresponding to the original sound emitted by the piano. Since the vibration energy component functions to be held by free vibration of the pendulum motion with the upper end of the first wire 10 as a fulcrum, the sound due to the vibration energy component becomes richer than the conventional case, and the floor surface. Transmission to is also suppressed.

  In addition, the vertical component of the second vibration energy component resulting from the player's operation of the keyboard 3 and the pedal 6 is suppressed by the elasticity of the cantilever spring member 9, and the horizontal component of the second vibration energy component is the second wire. 11 is suppressed by the tension acting on any of the above, and the performer does not feel uncomfortable with the operation.

  Further, since the lower structural member 8 is attached and fixed to the upper portion of the piano pedestal 2 and the upper structural member 7 is detachably attached to the piano frame 5, the insulator 1 is integrated into the pedestal 2 so that it is heavy. There is an advantage that the operation of transporting and moving the piano can be easily handled without any change.

  In the above description, a plurality of sets of cantilever spring members 9 and first wires 10 are provided for one insulator 1. However, the scale characteristics of the vibration generating object, etc. Depending on the number, a single cantilever spring member 9 and a first wire 10 may be provided for one insulator 1.

  In the above description, the vibration generating object is described as generating the first vibration energy component having a frequency equal to or higher than the lower limit value of the human audible frequency and the second vibration energy component having a frequency lower than the lower limit value. In the case of generating a vibration energy component having a relatively high frequency and a vibration energy component having a relatively low frequency instead of such a division, for example, the length of the first wire 10 is set according to the division frequency. By adjusting, the present invention can be applied in the same manner and achieve the same effect.

  The present invention can be freely combined with each other within the scope of the invention, and each embodiment can be appropriately modified or omitted.
